So when I rip my CD so I can play it on my MP3 player how are they going to know if it’s an illegal copy? Do they expect that all MP3 players will play only online purchased content?

According to the RIAA, it *IS* an illegal copy.

They don't care. If what you're playing is not in the same format and media that you purchased you are hereby deemed to be a criminal.
